how come Monsoon2D is sitting on -3 karma?
I used to use gamemaker, but I realised over a year back that everytime I wanted to do something(palette swapping, proper collision, dynamic map loading) that I kept having ot throw away the code it provided for often basic things and replace it with my own in an unintuitive way. So, I made the switch to XNA and haven't looked back. I'm currently working on completing a general2d engine, initially in sideview, but once I get most of the features built in, I'm going to extend it towards a typical jrpg top-down view. I'm pretty decent with programming and was already familiar with C++ syntax, so it was a beneficial and relatively painless switch. There's a pretty awesome support community and tons of blogs with lots of helpful articles. The tools provided, like Visual C#'s code editor, are incredible.Just putting this out there for any gamemakers growing tired with the program. I was initially attracted to GM because of the ease, speed and what I thought looked like flexibilty. I wanted to make some games, but didn't want to spend 5 years on the programming.
Has anyone else seen the latest "masterpiece" in the X-men movie franchise? It was rubbish.SPOILER!Wade Wilson was great until he was Dead Pool. Dead Pool was one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time. They ruined him! He took powers from a bunch of mutants and then put then pooled (it was their pun, not mine) them into Wade Wilson. Also Saber Tooth is Wolverine's brother? The film ruined the whole Weapon X story. So many things upset me about that movie./SPOILER!I also have low expectations for SOTC the movie.
